COMPONENTS OF

HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT (HRD)

INTRODUCTION :HRD is a profession today. By now HRD is a well-recognized function in organizations. HRD has professional bodies supporting its knowledge generation, knowledge dissemination and capacity building in organizations. HRD has also generated consulting firms which provide exclusive HRD services for organizations in need. A. WHAT IS HRD? HRD is based on the two assumptions: HRD makes sense only when it contributes towards business improvement and business excellence. HRD also strongly believe that good people and good culture make good organizations. HRD means building: Competency in people Commitment in people Culture in the organization HRD means building competencies. The most important HRD function is to build competencies in each and every individual working in an organization. Competencies are to be built and multiplied in roles and individuals. HRD means building commitment in people. Competencies will not make sense without commitment. Think of an organization where all the employees are competent but not willing to put into use their competencies. Hence, competencies without commitment will not contribute towards effectiveness. HRD is all about building a development culture in an organization. HRD ensures that culture-building practices are adopted from time to time to create a learning environment in the organization. It builds such a culture that the built-in culture in turn will build competencies and commitment in the people who work with the organization.

THUS,, HRD can be defined as the branch of human resources management function that endeavors to build competencies, commitment and a learning culture in organizations with the purpose of bringing in competitive advantages to achieve business excellence in all its operations. B. HRD SYSTEMS:HRD functions are carried out through its systems and sub systems. HRD has five major systems and each of the systems has sub systems as elaborated below: the first three systems viz., Career system, Work system and Development system, are individual and team oriented while the fourth and the fifth systems viz. Self renewal system and Culture Systems are organization based.

1. Career system: As an HRD system, career system ensures attraction and retention of human resources through the following sub-systems. Manpower planning Recruitment Career planning Succession planning Retention

2. Work system: Work-planning system ensures that the attracted and retained human resources are utilized in the best possible way to obtain organizational objectives. Following are the sub systems of the work planning system. Role analysis Role efficacy Performance plan Performance feedback and guidance Performance appraisal Promotion Job rotation Reward

3. Development system: The environmental situation and the business scenario is fast changing. The human resources within the organization have to raise upto the occasion and change accordingly if the organization wants to be in business. The development system ensures that the retained (career system) and utilized (work system) human resources are also continuously developed so that they are in a position to meet the emerging needs of the hour. Following are some of the developmental sub - systems of HRD that make sure that human resources in the organization are continuously developed. Induction Training Job enrichment Self-learning mechanisms Potential appraisal Succession Development Counselling Mentor system

4. Self-renewal system: It is not enough to develop individuals and teams in the organizations but occasionally there is a need to renew and re-juvenate the organization itself. Following are some of the sub systems that can be utilized to renew the organization. Survey Action research Organizational Development interventions Organizational Retreats

5. Culture system: Building a desired culture is of paramount importance in todays changed business scenario. It is the culture that will give a sense of direction, purpose, togetherness, and teamwork. It is to be noted that whether an organization wants it or not along with the time common ways of doing things (culture) will emerge. If not planned carefully and built systematically such common traits may not help the business but may become a stumbling block. Hence it is very important to have cultural practices that facilitate business. Some of the culture building subsystems are given below: Vision, Mission and Goal Values Communication Get-togethers and celebrations Task forces Small Groups

C. HRD PROCESSES
HRD is a process-oriented function. HRD functions in many organizations fail because the processes involving the systems are not adequately addressed. The concept of process essentially concerns the question of how and to a great extent the question of why . It emphasises the behavioural and interactional dimensions. All the HRD processes are centred around four constituents of an organization viz, the employee, role, teams and the organization itself. Each of the unit has its own behavioural patterns and framework, which, if not addressed adequately may not bring in the desired outcomes. It is through these processes that the HRD systems are effectively implemented. Implementations of the HRD systems are, in turn indented to bring in right processes in organizations. Hence HRD systems and HRD processes are closely linked. 1.Individual: Individual is the basic constituent of an organization. All the behavioural pattern and dynamisms emerge from individuals. Hence individual based HRD process explained below are vital for HRD function and for implementation of the HRD systems. Efficacy Effectiveness Styles Leadership 2.Role: Role is a dynamic entity which involves the expectations of significant others and self from the position of the role holder. A large number of behavioural patterns and dynamism in organizations are centred around the roles. The role occupier and all others who have some linkage or relationship to that role form a constituent. Following are some of the role related, HRD processes in organizations.
Competencies for job performance

Commitment Motivation Frustration, Stress & Burnout

3.Teams: Work in organizations are performed through teams or groups. When individuals begin to work in team, behavioural patterns and dynamisms emerge. Following HRD processes are to be addressed if team work should bring in the desired results. Communication Feedback Conflict resolution Collaboration

4.Organization: A large number of HRD processes are organization related. Unless and until these processes are in place, HRD cannot take off. However, in a number of organizations as a result of implementation of HRD systems, these processes were set right. HRD systems can contribute towards the development and maturity of these processes. Organizational Climate Communication Learning Organization Organizational Change Organizational Development

D. CONCLUSION :In this chapter we have seen the definition of HRD, various systems and subsystems, the HRD processes and the sub processes. The sub systems and sub processes are not discussed in detail since the very purpose of this work is to provide a quick and brief understanding of HRD rather than discuss them exhaustively. It is to be noted that body of knowledge relating to the sub themes mentioned above are already available in some form or the other. The HRD sources and the Bibliography given towards the end of this book may be used for further reading and elaboration.
